Though rockets here launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center near Merritt Island, Florida, or Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, people from the Treasure Coast can sometimes see this phenomenon.
Weather permitting and depending on cloud cover, a rocket launch from Florida’s Space Coastcould be visible as far north as Jacksonville Beach and Daytona Beach and as far south as Vero Beach and West Palm Beach(see videos and photo gallery with this story).
